| Ghost Perk | Rare | Unlocks advanced stealth kill and evasion abilities |
Introduction
Stealth in Urban Strife is a viable playstyle thanks to the game's detailed detection system. Dynamic view ranges are affected by lighting conditions and obstacles, while hearing radii propagate sound from gunfire, movement, and explosions. The AI alert system means that detection by one enemy can cascade through patrol networks, making noise management critical.

Core Mechanics
The view range system creates visibility cones that are affected by environmental lighting, time of day, and physical obstacles. Hearing radius detects sound sources including gunfire (very large radius), movement (medium), and stealth kills (small if using silent weapons). The AI alert propagation system causes detected enemies to relay alerts to nearby allies through patrol networks.
Advantages
Stealth eliminates enemies without triggering horde alerts or drawing human reinforcements. Silent weapons like the crossbow allow clearing zombie stragglers without alert propagation. The Ghost Perk transforms stealth from a situational tool into a full playstyle capable of entire mission completions without detection.
Challenges
Stealth is fragile — one mistake can cascade through the alert system and draw every enemy in the area. Ghost Perk requires significant investment in the stealth skill line. Human enemies have patrol patterns that can be unpredictable, and some missions have alert-triggering events that force loud combat.

Quick Tips
Use crossbows or melee for silent zombie elimination — no alert propagation
Night missions offer reduced view range for enemies — use darkness as cover
Gunfire alerts propagate through patrol networks — one shot can trigger an area
Ghost Perk investment is worth it for stealth-focused players
Noise traps are double-edged: they lure zombies but also alert nearby humans
